[Users] Applications Due Sunday! GPU Hackathon Opportunity for All

Hi NERSC Community,
NERSC, in conjunction with NVIDIA and OLCF, will be hosting a GPU Hackathon
from July 13th-15th with an opening day on July 7th as part of NVIDIA's
annual GPU Hackathon Series <https://gpuhackathons.org/>! This year, the
hackathon is going digital. Hack with world-class mentors from the safety
of your home.
Applications are open to all NERSC application teams, whether the team is
in NESAP or not. Short applications are due this Sunday night May 17. Apply
here: https://gpuhackathons.org/events
Hackathons combine teams of developers with mentors to prepare their own
application(s) to run on GPUs or optimize their application(s) that
currently run on GPUs. This digital event consists of a kick-off day,
where hackers and mentors video-conference to meet and develop their list
of hackathon goals, followed by a one week preparation period before the
3-day intensive primary event.
Teams should consist of three or more developers who are intimately
familiar with (some part of) their application, and they will work
alongside two mentors with GPU programming expertise.
If you want/need to get your code running (or optimized) on a
GPU-accelerated system, these hackathons offer a unique opportunity to set
aside 4 days, surround yourself with experts in the field, and push toward
your development goals. During the event, teams will have access to compute
resources provided by NERSC and OLCF.
In addition, you may find some details on the next generation A100 GPUs,
that will power NERSC's upcoming Perlmutter system, from NVIDIA's
announcement this morning:
